Description of the problem	Transfer case while driving started jerking while on the highway.. It has slowly gotten worse and has become dangerous to drive as i almost have got into a few accidents due to the surge in sudden jerks. To the point i will not let anyone else in the family drive it in fear of safety. I took it to the shop and was told it needs a new $5,000 transfer case. A local porsche shop told me this is a known manufacturer's issue and very common in these cars - due to a known defect in the transfer case and can be dangerous, but no recall (known) so far. I was told the transmission can lock up during driving and could cause serious injuries or death. I am now scared to drive it. I have a luxury vehicle that i am paying insurance on of which i can't drive that is useless sitting in my garage. This was my 1st porsche and sadly may be my last if this is not resolved. I have read tons of reports on forums citing this same problem. If this is such a known hazard what will it take to have porsce do the right thing and recall & get this fixed? I pray they are not waiting for a death first.
